PMP certification demonstrates the project manager's experience, knowledge, skills, and competencies required to lead and direct projects.

What are the course objectives?

The PMP training course is designed to ensure that you pass the PMP exam on the first try. Our hands-on training approach, entrusted by 52,000 learners, will help you to understand the workings of the five process groups and 10 knowledge areas defined by the PMBOK Guide—Sixth Edition.We guarantee you’ll walk away with all the preparation and confidence you need to conquer the exam and earn the PMP certification.

With the PMI® membership, you can also access commercially available books on project management and download a free copy of the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition, which is essential preparatory material for the PMP® Certification Exam. Registered PMI® members also get free access to Practice Exams.

In the past, PMI® had published 61% of 200 questions as the passing score. But now, PMI does not disclose the exact passing score or percentage anymore. After the PMP® Certification Exam update, the passing score is different for every candidate and is based on the difficulty level of questions being attempted by each candidate.

How do I fill out and submit the PMI® Application form online?

Before you begin, make sure that you meet all certification eligibility requirements and enter the necessary information on the application. Once you start filling out the application form, it cannot be canceled, but you can save the unfinished form and come back and complete or edit information as required. The application will remain open for 90 days, during which PMI® will send you an email reminder to complete the application.

Please ensure that the application includes your valid, unique email address, as this will be the primary mode of communication from PMI® throughout the certification process. PMI® will send email reminders during the process, but you must schedule and attend the examination within the one-year eligibility period.

No. PMI® encourages you to apply for the exam online using PMI® Online Certification System.

How long does PMI® take to process and approve an application?
Once you have submitted the form online, PMI® will take up to 5 calendar days to process and approve the form. However, these timelines may vary if your application has been selected for PMI®’s audit process.

What does PMI® expect from a candidate who is being audited?

If your application form is selected for an audit, PMI® will request you to provide various documents, such as:

Copies of your diploma or global equivalent

Signatures from your supervisor(s) or manager(s) from the project(s) recorded in the experience verification section on the application

Copies of certificates and/or letters from the training institute(s) for each course recorded on the application to meet the required contact hours of project management education.

Who can sign copies of my project experience documents?

Any verifying manager or supervisor can sign the Experience Verification Form and Experience PDF attachment.

What is the best way to send the audit documents to PMI®?

You can send your completed audit forms to the PMI®'s official address by regular postal mail or express courier service. The PMI® does not accept faxed or emailed audit documents. Participants should send all documents in one envelope to expedite the processing time.

How much time do I have to submit documents?

Once requested, you have up to 90 days to submit all necessary documentation.

What happens if I fail to meet the audit requirements for the PMP® Exam?

In the event of a failed audit, the certification fee (minus a processing fee) will be refunded. The Certification Department will take further action on a case-by-case basis. If you fail the PMP® application audit, the PMI® will deduct $100 from your application fee, and you will receive a refund of the remaining fees paid.

When do I pay the fees – before the audit or after the audit?

You must pay the fee when you submit your application form, which is before the audit.

To claim a refund for the PMP® certification, you must place a request with PMI® at least 30 days before the exam eligibility expiry date. PMI® will retain a processing fee of US$100 if you have not scheduled or taken the examination.

How many attempts do I have to pass the PMP® exam?

The PMI® allows a candidate to attempt the exam up to three times in one calendar year. Focused training programs will help give you the knowledge and experience to prepare for and pass the exam.

It takes four to six weeks to receive the certificate after passing the exam.

Reviews

Fatima Mohammed Ali Consultant, Bucharest

I found this course Excellent, easy to understand and very helpful. It improved my understanding of important PMP concepts.

Mike Casey Product Manager, Sacramento

Simplilearn has been great. The live courses for the PMP exam were well organized and easy to connect to. Their customer support has been excellent. They've helped out all along.

I have taken the PMP Course from Simplilearn. The course content is aligned to the certification exam and the information is accurate and precise. Anyone who aspires to become a project manager will be able to understand the concepts and should be able to pass the PMP Certification Exam. Additionally, Simplilearn has good customer support and they are quick to respond.

Giuseppe Giuffrida Product Engineer Manager, Boise

Dhananjay R. Kutnikar Director IT at Wipro, San Francisco

Simplilearn is one of the customer focused and user-friendly organizations. The PMP training course is very well structured and has all the topics one needs to learn and practice to become a successful project manager. The course duration itself and support provided by Simplilearn's customer support is fabulous. No wonder I continue to recommend this to my colleagues and friends.

Eric Belle System Engineer at General Atomics, San Diego

Simplilearn has bent over backward to assist me in completing the course and even offered me additional course materials to study for the newer version of the PMBOK PMP test when it changed during the course of my studies. I find their customer service very accommodating and their instructors to be very knowledgeable and involved in their students progress.

Stephen Antley Director Of Product Development at SPARGO, Inc., Washington

I had enrolled for PMP course in Simplilearn. The material is easy to follow and explains in a simple way. The knowledge checks at the end of each module reinforce the lessons and prepare you to take practice exams. The only critic I have would be around the formula's I wish they spend more time explaining and help develop them on a brain dump sheet. Overall, this has been a great experience and would recommend Simplilearn to working professionals who are too busy to go to traditional classes.

The trainer was EXCELLENT. He gave real life examples which we could apply the concepts to, rather than go through the slide word for word. We could always read the slides on our own. The examples were much appreciated. very informative.

Janet Grover Sales & Project Management, Houston

This course was great! I feel much more confident about the material now. The trainer was wonderful! I liked that we were able to fire questions at him and he would respond with examples of his experience. Also no question was a "dumb" question. Give him a Raise! :)

I took the PMP course twice because the trainer is that good! I wanted to take the class again as a way to review all of the concepts. His approach to the course and his examples are perfect to understanding the concepts of the course.

Ankur Rawat AGC Networks LTD, Houston

This was an excellent training program. A big shout out for the trainer, for training us so well. I are more confident, and clear on the PMP course. Looking forward to get certified soon. A big thanks to the trainer and Simplilearn!

Syed Shayan Alam Product Support Engineer at Medtronic, Houston

This class was a great experience, very enlightening and I have recommended this course to my friends. I loved the way students participated from all around the world. The teacher was also great and full of excitement. He loved to teach and had no problem if we bothered him to ask questions or show concern. Again, I would love to recommend this course to my friends, and colleagues.

The Project Management Professional (PMP)® is a globally acknowledged professional certification that validates a professional’s education and experience in project management. This coveted credential is offered by the reputed Project Management Institute to professionals who qualify in the PMP Exam conducted by the Project Management Institute (PMI)®.

Why PMP certification? Here are the top 10 reasons you should consider getting PMP certified:

Reason #1: Globally Acknowledged

Who should become PMP certified? Anyone who wants the freedom to work anywhere in the world. The PMP is one of those credentials whose reputation precedes them, recognized and sought-after the world over (there are more than 760,000 PMP certified professionals worldwide as of May 2017). Achieving the PMP certification helps professionals demonstrate and showcase their skills and expertise to potential employers across the globe.

Reason #2: Salary Bump

If you’ve wondered why to get a PMP certification, you should know that PMP holders typically enjoy a dramatic and steep hike in salary once they have attained the PMP certification. On average, PMP certified professionals earn 17% more than their non-certified counterparts, according to the Project Management Salary Survey, Eighth Edition. According to the PMI’s Project Management Salary Survey released in July 2017, PMP certified professionals earn a median salary of $111,969 per year in the United States.

Reason #3: Expand Your Market Reach and Scope

PMP certification holders are a global yet close-knit community. There are many Project Management forums and online communities that attract PMP professionals from across the world who are willing to share tips, insights, and pool their experience—helping everyone stay abreast of the latest industry developments and trends.

Reason #4: Better Job Opportunities

PMP Certification opens up better career avenues and provides professionals with greater job opportunities in the project management world. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, 80% of high-performing projects use PMP credentialed project managers; according to the PMI Pulse of the Profession study, organizations with more than 35% PMP certified project managers demonstrated much better project performance than those without a certification.

Reason #5: PMP Professionals Get The Most Challenging Projects

The PMP Certification earns a professional a challenging and important role since the certification demonstrates an individual’s dedication to project management and attests to that person’s knowledge and experience in handling challenging projects. Additionally, since even the eligibility to take the PMP exam includes both education and experience, the PMP Certification validates one’s skills and experience leading and directing projects.

Reason #6: PMP Professionals Demonstrate Better Project Performance

Not all project managers are PMP certified. Consequently, project managers who lack the credential perform less efficiently than their certified peers. The standards for the rigorous PMP exam are higher than other project management certifications, testing professionals on five project management processes: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring & controlling, and closing, providing the Project manager with a detailed, standardized, actionable set of project management best practices.

Further, in order to qualify for the PMP exam, aspirants must have an in-depth understanding of nine knowledge areas of project management, including project scope management, integration management, human resource management, time management, cost management, quality management, and procurement management.

Reason #7: Greater Visibility To Recruiters

Research across industries suggests that organizations prefer hiring PMP certified project managers rather their non-credentialed peers. The PMP certification is a standard that demonstrates a professional’s expertise in project management and it immediately catches a recruiter’s eye during profile evaluation.

Reason #8: Applicable to Most Industries

The PMP certification is an ideal bet for all project managers in various professional fields, including IT, telecom, business processing, commerce, finance, research, and more.

Reason #9: A Great Investment for Your Future

The exam itself falls into about the middle range in terms of cost. While not as expensive as many of the high-tech, very specific exams, it isn’t something you are likely to take lightly. At $555 a test (unless you are a PMI® member, in which case it is $405), it doesn’t seem too expensive.

The passing rate of the PMP exam is estimated to be around 50 – 60%. Once you consider the pass/fail rate, you may decide that you need formal training. These types, of course, can cost between $1,500 and $2,000—not counting the cost of the exam.

Reason #10: PMP Professionals are Secure Even During Economic Downturns

With the economy yet to get back to where it was 15 years ago, there is still plenty of uncertainty. While no one is immune to layoffs and downsizing, 80% of executives around the world believe that having a PMP certification demonstrated core competencies that made the certification holders valuable even during a recession.

If you are considering working toward your PMP exam, Simplilearn offers a variety of project management courses that will help you pass, including the PMP Certification Training Course. Our PMP training courses are conducted by certified, highly experienced professionals with at least ten years of experience.

PMP is a registered mark of the Project Management Institute, Inc.

What are scenario-based games?

Scenario-based games are simulations of real-world cases that project managers may encounter in their everyday work. We have designed solutions for these cases, per the PMBOK Guide - Fifth Edition to help you resolve the problems in these cases. Each scenario allows you to choose a path and gauge how you fare in handling the situation as a project manager. For each correct or incorrect choice, an explanation is provided—creating a stimulating and immersive learning environment that helps you improve conceptual understanding and build your project management skills.

Is the PMP® Exam fee included in the course fee?

No. Exam fees are not included for any of the courses we offer. You must pay the Project Management Institute (PMI)® to take the exam.

How many questions are there in the PMP® (Project Management Professional) certification exam?

The PMP® exam has a total of 200 questions that must be answered within 4 hours. Among the 200 questions will be 25 randomly chosen questions that are considered pre-test questions for future tests and are not scored. Since they are randomly chosen, you should answer all 200 questions.

What certification will I receive after completing the training?

When you have completed the training course, you will receive a course completion certificate along with a 35-hour PDU certificate. Simplilearn does not administer the PMP® certification, but once you have passed that exam, you will receive the prestigious PMP® certification from the Project Management Institute.

What is included in the training?

The course includes:

We offer 24/7 support through email, chat, and calls.

We also have a dedicated team that provides on-demand assistance through our community forum. What’s more, you will have lifetime access to the community forum, even after completion of your course with us.

What is the difference between Contact Hours and PDUs?

One hour of classroom instruction equals one contact hour. If you have completed a university or college course on project management that met for three hours per week for 15 weeks, you would record 45 contact hours. If only a portion of a course dealt with project management, only the hours spent on project management can be applied toward the total.

PDUs are the measuring unit used to quantify approved learning and professional service activities.

Do Contact Hours have an expiry date?

No. PMI® does not mandate any expiry timeline for contact hours earned to qualify for the PMP® Exam, as long as you retain the proof (certificate). There is no deadline or expiry date, though the contact hours must have been acquired before the submission of the application to PMI®. For example, if you earn the contact hours in 2013, there's nothing stopping you from taking the exam in 2017.

If I fail the PMP® Exam, how soon can I retake it?

You are granted a one-year eligibility period in which to pass the examination. During the eligibility period, you may take the examination up to three times. If you fail the examination three times within your one-year eligibility period, you must wait one year from the date of the last examination you took to reapply for the certification. However, after failing a certification examination three times, candidates may opt to apply for any other PMI® certification.

How do I apply for PMP® re-examination?

Participants are granted three chances to pass the PMP® exam in one year. For the second and the third attempt for the examination, the participants have to to pay an additional fee of $275 (for members) or $375 (nonmembers) as a reexamination fee. The participants will have a waiting period of one year before they can re-appear for the exam in case they don't pass in their first three attempts.

If I fail in the PMP® Exam, can I apply for re-evaluation?

Yes, you can apply for reevaluation. You may submit a written request to the PMI® Certification Department for review of their decision. Requests can be sent by postal mail to PMI®, or by email to certappeals@pmi.org.

How do I document the experience?

Use the experience verification section of the online application to record your experience leading and directing the project. Record projects individually regardless of the number of projects you include.

What is the average salary for a PMP® certified project manager?

The average salary for a PMP® certified project manager is $111,000.

What does 36 months of non-overlapping experience requirement mean for the PMP® Exam?

According to PMIs calculation, the concept of non-overlapping experience refers to the following:

If a professional is working on multiple projects at the same time, then the experience will be counted for one project over that stipulated period for which he/she worked on the project.

Example: Mr. A has managed 2 projects in 2016, Project 1 ran from Jan'16 to Aug'16 (8 months) and Project 2 ran from April'16 to Dec'16 (9 months). In this case, we have an overlap of 5 months (Apr'16 to Aug'16). So the experience for these 5 months will be counted as 5 months and not as 10 months (5x2=10). The non-overlapping experience is 12 months.
